I am keeping a (private) journal of the experience. At my psych evaluation I complained about finding very little information for men online and he suggested writing a book on that.

Who knows? ;-)

No interest in blogging/videos... that's straight up attention whoring these days.

@@Fredbear .... Cmon....blogging and videos are "straight up attention whoring", but you writing a book on your experience is not?

Two sides of the same communication coin, and nothing wrong with either one.

I didn't go public for the attention. I went public to inspire others.

Attention whoring is pretty offensive. I feel like many of the video blogs have been very helpful to me and I have been thinking about doing one when I get to the pre-op diet phase.

What video editing platform are you guys using to vlog? I am interested in starting one but VERY lost on the editing/mashing videos and adding pics/text etc.

I just use the video editor on youtube, still not an expert and can't do much yet. You don't need to be fancy to start. Just start posting videos and add stuff as you go and as you learn. That is what I see most people do.

That's where I'm at, too. I was just looking for any support and community out there and thought it would be fun to dive in, but I really am a newbie. It looks like YouTube has a lot of cool functionality that I'll explore as I go! If you decide to take the leap, let us know - I'd love to see :)

I've decided to blog my journey at theantichick.com (but haven't put up any posts about it yet) and have considered doing a vlog, but I don't know about that. I think I'll subscribe to a couple of you guys' and see if I want to join in that as well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
